Letter to the Romans

Brothers and sisters: I am not ashamed of the Gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: for Jew first, and then Greek.
For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live."
The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them.
Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse;
for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.
While claiming to be wise, they became fools
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies.
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Psalms

The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day pours out the word to day,
and night to night imparts knowledge.
Not a word nor a discourse
whose voice is not heard;
Through all the earth their voice resounds,
and to the ends of the world, their message.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

After Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat.
The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal.
The Lord said to him, "Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil.
You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?
But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you."

St. Ignatius of Antioch(Bishop & Martyr († c. 107))

SAINT IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH Bishop and Martyr ( c. 107) St. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of St. John the Apostle. During Domitian's persecution, St. Ignatius fasted and prayed for peace. He shared in the passion of Christ, and proved himself a true disciple. In 107 A.D., Emperor Trajan came to Antioch and forced the Christians to choose between apostasy and death. When the emperor questioned St. Ignatius about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, St. Ignatius explained that Jesus dwelt in his heart through the affections, in his mind through the intellect, and in his soul through grace. St. Ignatius' fearless and heroic testament moved many hearts, but the Roman authority sentenced him to death. Condemned, St. Ignatius was brought to Rome and thrown to lions in the amphitheatre. The lions tore St. Ignatius apart and ate his whole body. The bones and pieces remaining were reverently collected and interred at Antioch. In 637, they were transferred to the Church of St. Clement in Rome. After St. Ignatius' death, many Christians saw him in visions interceding for them before Christ.
